3. Thank you! I don't want that in my house.

RU State Media has made enough profit on viewers since they arrived.
Every viewer on RT paid directly to RU State Owned Media.

12. Why do you think Fox is backpedaling so quickly?

They make bupkis on advertising; most of their income comes from cable fees.

6. I have AT&T U-verse.

Out of curiosity, I went to the RussiaToday (RT) channel. The program that is supposed to be on right now has a message that states “This channel is no longer available.”

The message is in gold with a bright blue background. Coincidence?

7. ROKU removed the channel from European platforms, but not US--yet. Comcast?

I see conflicting stories. Some RT content was deleted from Xfinity-Comcast well before Putin's move on Ukraine--largely contract disputes, I think. Not sure if that is every locale, though.
